MEGA,
which provides a united solution for governance, risk, and compliance
(GRC) and enterprise architecture (EA), will host a Webinar on January
31, 2013, where David C. Baker, principal at PwC, and Colin Tong,
manager at PwC, will speak about the links between EA and GRC and how
companies can use both together to help establish safe, profitable, and
stable enterprise operations.

“EA and GRC share common goals and aid business leaders in
achieving strategic objectives. When properly executed together, these
disciplines can increase an organization’s ability to measurably create,
grow, and safeguard shareholder value,” Baker noted.

In the Webinar, “Separated at Birth: EA and GRC”, Baker and Tong
will focus on how companies can apply EA techniques to help reduce the
complexity often associated with risk management and compliance. The
Webinar will also show how architecture can be used as a means for
governance and management of risks and compliance, and to improve
operational performance.

Attendees will learn:

The similarities in how EA and GRC consider the enterprise

How EA models can support GRC activities

The role EA and GRC play together in breaking down information silos

Registration
is now open for the January 31, 2013 11 am EST online event.
